"Whether you're familiar with therapy or considering it for the first time, simply reaching out is brave, exciting, and possibly scary. We all have an innate desire for health and wholeness. We often feel our sense of self in the uppermost part of our body, our heads, and have a hard time seeing our body as part of us. Therapy that integrates the body's wisdom addresses this split, by bringing attention to energy, muscular holding patterns, pain, posture, gesture, and movement. These somatic (mindbody) experiences are great teachers, especially regarding trauma, addiction, codependency, boundary and assertiveness work."
